"We try to help them learn how to live in the community without using drugs," said Dara Mcalister, a drug and alcohol case manager.

Not an easy task when heroin is becoming more and more prevalent nationwide.

"Heroin is one of those drugs that as soon as you use it, you are possibly going to be addicted, because it's just the instant feeling the gratification and then they're always looking for that same feeling all over again," said Mcalister.

She says any drug can be hard to kick,even with help, but it can happen when the user has had enough.

"If you don't want it, it won't happen," said Mcalister.
